Christensen's Faery Tales Week: Day 8

This is an image heavy post, so I'll keep the rest brief. Here are the answers to the puzzle. Well, at least the ones I know!

Fairy Tale 1: Unknown... This one appears to flummox everyone. It doesn't appear to be Hop O' My Thumb or Tom Thumb which was my first instinct. All the tales represented here are supposed to be "well known" and I can't think of one that fits.

Fairy Tale 7: The Brave Little Tailor (Someone guess Puss in Boots on this one thanks to my blurry picture, I think, because I can totally see that. In a better picture it's easier to see that the little figure is a man, not a cat, and that the giant is trying to squeeze a rock like a sponge.)

Fairy Tale 24: This is the other fairy tale I'm unsure of. I've debated whether it's one of the tailors from Emperor's New Clothes, but I think not since there is one instead of two tailors and he is still somewhat separated from the action. He must be another tale, unless I've missed a reference to another fairy tale elsewhere in the puzzle. If anyone else sees one I've missed, let me know!

And either way, I'm not sure which fairy tale he would represent which just adds to the mystery... Perhaps someday someone will solve the mysteries for us...
